Spotify and now Netflix? How about we stop giving obscene amounts of money to an obscenely hateful idiot?
At best it's pandering to the lowest common denominator, at worst it's nefarious work to spread disinformation.

I'm very conflicted about this whole thing. On the one hand, yeah it's kind of a scandal and people have every right to be booing him every time he touches the ball.
On the other hand, he was convicted, sentenced, did time and is now back in society apparently showing remorse. People are calling for his career to end and various wishes of death on him. Why can't he continue his life?
Are we supposed to lock up all criminals forever? Kill them? Just not allow them to follow their chosen career after getting out? Or is it just sports they shouldn't be allowed to participate in?
On what grounds would he be removed though? Is there a reason countries shouldn't select athletes that have been to prison?
I was semi-joking, but I also didn't click the link.
He is 88 and retired 11 years ago from running for political office. Like who in their right mind would even think about running when you're 77 years old?
How on earth is "Leaked private messages" a reason for banning. Absolutely an abuse of power and Streisand Effect is doing it's thing.
Bro, no-one's clicking a link with "spyware" in the URL.
Elon would read this and still think he's Neo.
That's an odd take. His replies are basically just basking in the downvotes and admitting that he doesn't actually have knowledge of the incident.
I'd say the swathes of downvotes and removal of your comments by mods would make you go read about it before jumping to his defence.
Yeah but that's not really what my question was about.
Why shouldn't the Dutch delegation select him? And what rules would prevent a selection of any convicted criminal?
Or are we talking about the IOC specifically banning people convicted of child rape offences?
